The study room was silent, and the uncle and nephew looked at each other? Silent.
Before the death of the late emperor, the Zhang brothers were already very arrogant, and they reached a point of being in a slanted way. Now they have been upgraded to the emperor's uncle, which is even more unshakable. No wonder the third master was so depressed and uneasy when he first saw the clue. Luo Zhi died depressed because he was worried that the Zhang family would be unkind to the Shen family. Since Chen Cang passed away, the highest official position of the Shen family is only a fourth-rank official. He has become a middle-class family and cannot compete with the Zhang family at all.
Shen Rui remembered a past event. When Xu and the Shen family went to Beijing, Chen Zhu collided with Zhang Yanling, and then Chen Cang came to the door to apologize in person. At that time, Shen Rui felt something was wrong. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were noble. On weekdays, Chen Cang went to the Marquis' Mansion to apologize for his nephew, and sometimes even showed signs of separation from each other in the court, gaining a reputation as "not afraid of the powerful". As the Minister of State, Chen Cang personally went to the Marquis's mansion to apologize for his clan nephew, which seemed a bit flattering. .Afterward, the censor even caused impeachment, but the point was not Chen Cang's character, but impeachment of Zhang Yanling's domineeringness and a horse in the downtown area, which made the matter fall into nothing. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that something is really strange.
"Didn't my father investigate this matter carefully?" Shen Rui frowned.
The third master fell into deep thoughts, then he was a little dazed and murmured: "It's something wrong. At that time, Brother Luo fell off a horse and died. Not only did the second brother and sister-in-law unable to withstand the pain of losing their son, but the other elders were also heartbroken. Only the elder brother was sad, but also had a little resentment. At that time, I thought he was "hateful but not strong". Because Brother Luo didn't care about himself, he was angry only if he died in vain..." At this point, he suddenly realized: " There is no airtight wall in this world. Did the elder brother find clues at that time and know that Brother Luo fell off a horse and died, and that the Zhang family was inside, so he was so annoyed!"
Shen Rui and Chen Cang have been together for a few years and know that their father is a cunning person and attaches great importance to his family. Chen Luo is not only Chen Cang's nephew, but also the only descendant of the three brothers at that time. How could Chen Cang not think about it after his nephew's death? Check the causes and consequences clearly.
The third master was in a turmoil: "But if the elder brother really knew about this, how could he remain indifferent? He was still worried about the Zhang family's strong momentum..."
Shen Rui was also confused about this. The third master noticed the wrong words and hurriedly said, "Maybe the eldest brother has other arrangements. After all, the Zhang family had the emperor and the empress as their backing. If they faced each other head-on, they might not be able to get fairness. If they were carefully corrected, they would be in the same way. It damaged Luo Ge'er's reputation..."
The threat from the Zhang family is indeed worrying for the Shangshu Mansion, but it is not enough to care about it now.
The eight hundred miles of rapid military reported to the Ministry of War. Japanese pirates came ashore in Songjiang Prefecture and plundered the people of Huating County, killing and injured more than a hundred people.
As soon as the Emperor Daxing was in funeral, the court officials were still watching the new emperor, so there was such a shock. Before the civil and military officials in the court responded to the Japanese pirates, news came that the Outer Mongolian cavalry was stymied. The Mongolians who were enough to threaten the country In comparison, the Japanese pirate rebellion was nothing. No one mentioned it except for strengthening the maritime ban and ordering thousands of coastal households to jointly suppress bandits.
For the Shen family, the Japanese pirate rebellion in Huating County was a huge matter.
Although the letter from the Shen clan has not arrived in Beijing, the fifth master and his wife have already packed their luggage and are ready to return to their hometown. The fifth master is in poor health and is now in the heat of summer. Who dares to let him go on the road? Children and grandchildren have to ask for trouble, but the fifth master is He insisted on leaving. Even Guo, who had always been calm, did not oppose her husband's decision this time. Therefore, not only did he have Shen's tomb in Songjiang, but his second son Chen Qi's family were there. Guo was also anxious and was eager to return home.
The eldest son of the fifth house, Chen Ying, and the second son of Chen are all in Beijing, but Chen Ying was originally an official of the Eastern Palace. Now that the Eastern Palace has ascended the throne, the old people of the Eastern Palace have also been promoted. Chen Ying is the left senator of the fifth rank of Tongzheng and the new official. When the new era is a key official position, if you cannot ask for leave, only Chen Quan can move.
Before leaving, Chen Quanshao must go to Shangshu Mansion and Chen Li to see if the two families went south. As for whether Songjiang is now dangerous, no one wants to avoid it or not, and it is not concerned about whether everyone should avoid it. It was a chaos, but the Ming Dynasty is now politically stable, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the Japanese pirates are just a sudden surprise and take the opportunity to rob, and they dare not blatantly confront the officers and soldiers.
At the Shangshu Mansion, Xu was also worried when he heard that the Japanese pirates had arrived ashore. He heard that Chen Quan wanted to return home with his parents. He looked at Shen Rui and wanted to speak but stopped.
Shen Rui was still recalling the historical materials about the Japanese pirates' rebellion in the Ming Dynasty that he had read in his previous life, but he really didn't remember it very clearly. However, the experience of the Japanese pirates' rebellion in Huating County was not the first time. Several grandfathers of the second wife died and died. The death was caused by the Japanese pirates.
Chen Quan saw Xu's expression and felt a move. He looked at Shen Rui and happened to face Shen Rui.
Shen Rui knew that at this time, people valued the clan foundation. Although the relationship between the second wife and the clan has never been close, it was not easy to stop watching the matter. He said to Xu: "Mother, I will go south with my third brother..."
The third master is still sick, Brother Lu is still a baby, Shen Rui is the pillar of the second room, and only he can come forward.
Xu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, go and have a look... If you don't talk about others, the fourth house Lao An is in Huating, you always have to go back and have a look..."
Shen Rui was stunned and remembered that Zhang Lao'an came. Even though he had already succeeded, in the eyes of the world, the fourth wife still had the grace of giving birth. If there was something to do, he could not ignore it.
"Where is Brother Jin? Are you going back too?" Shen Rui looked at Chen Quan and said.
Chen Quan nodded: "Of course I have to go back. There are fakes there, but it's cheap. Brother Jiu is Lin."
When I returned home from a distance, everything was complicated and I had to make arrangements for my boat and horses. Chen Quan did not stay much, so I made an appointment for the date of departure, so I went home first.
Xu immediately ordered to arrange for someone to take care of Shen Rui's luggage.
Shen Rui greeted Xu and went to Hanlin Academy to look for Shen Li. Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, the dispute between imperial power and prime minister's power is about to break out. Shen Li is the son-in-law of Xie Ge Lao, and he said he would not suffer the disaster. If he could persuade Shen Li to return It is also a good thing to avoid this dispute in the countryside.
When Shen Rui left, Xu's face sank. Did the Japanese pirates really come ashore? Xu lived in his fifties and has been in his five dynasties. He remembered it when the Emperor ascended the throne. There will always be turmoil in this way. Some are foreign races taking advantage of the situation, while others are the work of the imperial court officials or the work of local corrupt officials, either for power or for profit. Even if they are really foreign races and have no collusion, they dare not Attacking a prefecture with troops stationed. Without traitors, they cannot attract foreign bandits, and they pitifully have the innocent people. Even if Shen Rui wants to become an official in the future, no one can say that the ups and downs of the officialdom are good. Xu originally planned to arrange for people to return to Songjiang to operate after taking submission. The place, as the second house's retreat, is hesitant now. Songjiang is too close to the seaside, and whether it is a real Japanese pirate or a fake Japanese pirate, it is easy to cause disaster. Do you want to run Suzhou? The Xu family remembers the Xu clan and his nephew. Over there, my brows frowned even harder.
The sound of footsteps came from outside, and the third wife supported the third master over.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Brother Rui was going out, but what happened in Songjiang?" asked the third master.
It is not a joke to keep filial piety for three years. Although it has been a hundred days of filial piety, it has not yet reached its anniversary. Shen Rui, a filial son, still has to accept the white filial piety clothes until the anniversary. If there is no major event, Xu will not arrange it Shen Rui went out.
Xu had no intention of hiding the third master, and told the story of the Japanese pirates plundering Songjiang.
The third master was shocked, and the third wife also changed her expression. Although she had never returned to Songjiang, it was the foundation of the clan after all. In recent years, there have been relatives and relatives, so the couple couldn't help but worry.
"Sister-in-law, since it's uneasy, don't let Brother Rui go. Just arrange for the housekeeper to follow Brother Quan and the others to go south." Although the third master was worried about his clan relatives, he was even more worried about his nephew, especially since he was thinking about it these days. Chen Luo died young, and he didn't want Shen Rui to take any risk.
The third wife also advised: "Yes, Brother Rui hasn't changed his mind yet. Even if he doesn't come forward, no one will blame him."
Xu shook his head and said, "It would be better if the old lady from the fourth house followed Chen Yuan in Yangzhou. Now she is in Songjiang, so Brother Rui can't be unaware of it. Besides, Chen Jin is the top scholar. Although Songjiang has experienced disasters this time, Chen Jin returned home in glory. The more this time, the less mistakes Rui Ge'er could not make any mistakes."
People are awesome, and the word "filial piety" is the most important. When the third master and the third wife heard this, they also made things difficult for Shen Rui.
Before, when it comes to the chaos in the fourth house, everyone has a scale in their hearts. Shen Rui, the original legitimate son, has a bad reputation and is disliked by his father and grandmother, adopted his family. Chen Jin, the eldest son of the legitimate wife, showed his innocence. It's not that innocent. Everyone will think that Shen Rui is really as unbearable as a rumor, and will not fall into the eyes of the second wife and be elected as his heir. That's good, but how did the previous rumor come from? Is there any Chen Jin This gangster is fueling the fire?
Now that Chen Jin has won the top scorer, the situation is different. The top scorer is Wenquxing, so there will be no mistakes in the stars coming to earth. Everyone must open their eyes and pick Shen Rui's fault, which proves that Shen Rui is really unbearable and incompatible with his father and brother. His room.
Thinking of this, the third master said helplessly: "With Chen Jin suppression, there will be more difficult things for Brother Rui to do in the future."
With Shen Ruo first and Shen Jin later, the Shen family has produced two top scorers in 20 years, and the possibility of a third is very small. Moreover, Shen Rui's homework is all in the eyes of the third master. Working hard is hard, and it is also better than the same age. The young man is not a genius. Chen Jin and Shen Rui are of the same age and have a subtle relationship. If there is any inappropriate inappropriateness, they can involve the past, which makes people have to worry about it.

Outside the Hanlin Courtyard, under the shade of trees.
Shen Rui looked up at the sky, and his forehead was sweating. He was wearing a mourning uniform, which was too conspicuous and inconvenient to enter and exit, so he sent Changshou to the yamen to send a message to ask someone. As for why he didn't wait until he was in the yamen before going to Chen Li's house, of course, it was because he noticed Xie's Although in front of Shen Li, the sister-in-law Xie, the clan, has always been warm to Shen Rui, but the person's expression is complicated and disgusted without hiding it. Shen Rui has never mentioned Chen Li, so he can't go over Chen Li The number of times you get home is less. Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
